this is nowhere near you guys but in nashville this dude in a blue 8 wanted to race me in the interstate so i hapily ablidged but anyway i do a third gear pull and so does he but when he did it he hit the rev limiter for a second then i hear a huge pop and smoke starts pouring out his tail pipes. im pretty sure he blew a rotor cuz we pulled off in the same spot and he said he lost a lot of power and it had never done that before i felt really bad for him it sounded like **** when it was ideling

I saw a post where 2Hit6 asked Fernandomma if he owned a Spy Depot...judging by the address on Fernandomma's page it seems to fit the bill on the location on Dufferin St. But who knows....could be anyone. :-)

I wonder if anyone will buy used steele...

I am thinking of getting a cheap *** look-alike...FAST is FAST enough...I like your rims haha. Stock 17" Mazda6 rims look OEM too tho...and probably cheaper used than those FAST?

Mine were a steal....

18" x 7.5 + 42mm offset (so it sits 2mm out from stock actually.. imperceivable.

Alloy wheels, I weighed them, they are LIGHTER than the stock OEM wheels too!
Brand new. Also came with free metal valvestems, centre cap, and 4 free hub-centering rings too.

Couldn't pass up on a clearance deal like that for $600 cash!!!!

Josh...

they are 18 x 7.5"s... so they are slightly narrower, but because they are +42mm offset, they sit out 2mm...

Hey Footman! I just saw a Natalia look alike on Steeles going East bound from Leslie to Don Mills. Even had your rims, the only thing that I could notice was different was the license plate. lolz

Well, i'm not TOO sure about the rims, but they look very similar MIGHT be the same? and I was stopped at the red light beside him at Don Mills where he was making a left turn, so that's why i got to check his car out

I doubt the rims are the same... mine were clearance rims on sale.. The "FAST PHAZE" rims were a 2007 design that I bought in 2008.

There was only 1 set left. It's very slim chance that it was a VR Rx8 and also used it for winters like me..... heheheh
